All LINC students and their families were eligible,
so my wife, my daughter and I decided to join
the “How to Ride Safely on the Road” class.

On July 21, 2015, we started by learning
about “ABC Quick Check”. Before getting on a bike,
it is important to do this safety check.
It takes about 10 seconds. A is for air. B is for brakes.
C is for cranks, chain and cassette.(See a video on “ABC Quick Check” below.)

After that, the instructors divided us
into two groups. In our group, we learned
many things about traffic regulations
and bike riding in Vancouver.

We learned about hand signals, shoulder checking,
changing gears, and so on.

On July 28, 2015, during the second session,
we actually rode our bikes in traffic.
We also completed a survey.

It was a great experience and one of our best memories
in Canada so far!

Thank you to our school, to Heather and Eric,
our biking instructors, and Stephanie from SFU.
